Where Eye Health Meets Great Design
Lumen was founded on a belief that good eye care shouldn't feel like a chain-store conveyor belt — and that the glasses you wear every day should be something you genuinely love. So we built a practice that does both, exceptionally.
On the clinical side, you'll get an unhurried, comprehensive exam from a doctor who owns this practice and answers to you — not a corporation — using the same advanced imaging found in specialty clinics. On the style side, you'll find a curated boutique of frames you won't see anywhere else, and stylists who genuinely help. Vision and style, treated with equal care.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I get an eye exam?
For most healthy adults, every one to two years is ideal — and annually if you wear contacts, are over 60, or have conditions like diabetes. Children should be examined regularly as their vision develops. Regular exams catch issues early, often before you notice any symptoms, which is exactly when they're easiest to treat.
Do you take my insurance?
We accept most major vision and medical insurance plans, and we'll verify your specific benefits before your visit so you know exactly what's covered. Many eye conditions are billed through medical (not vision) insurance — we'll handle that distinction for you and help you maximize your coverage.
What makes your exams different from a chain?
Time and technology. We don't rush you through a high-volume schedule — your doctor takes the time to do a truly comprehensive exam, including advanced OCT imaging that looks beneath the surface of your eye. And because we're doctor-owned, the only thing guiding our recommendations is your eye health.
Can I buy glasses there, or just get an exam?
Both, beautifully. We house a curated boutique of 800+ designer frames you won't find at chains, with stylists who help you choose, plus precision custom lenses and expert fitting. Many patients exam and pick frames in a single, enjoyable visit.
Do you see children?
Absolutely — pediatric eye care is a specialty of ours. We provide gentle, kid-friendly exams that catch vision issues early (which is crucial for learning), and we make choosing kids' glasses fun rather than stressful. Families are at the heart of our practice.
What if you find something serious?
You're in exactly the right place. We diagnose and manage many eye conditions in-house, and for anything requiring a specialist or surgery, we coordinate directly with Seattle's top ophthalmologists and surgeons — guiding you through every step with clear, honest information.
